Abstract: The compressed gas cylinder (1) is suitable for use in delivering medical gas therapy to ambulatory patients. The compressed gas cylinder (1) has a hollow main body (2) in which therapeutic gas is stored under pressure; a cylinder head (3); a gas outlet (4); and a display (6). The display (6)provides estimates of the time remaining before full depletion of the gas within the cylinder (1). Estimates of the time remaining are based upon estimates of the amount of gas remaining in the gas cylinder (1). However, temperature variation and fluctuations in actual measurements can cause substantial errors when estimating the amount of gas remaining. The improved gas cylinder (1) reduces these errors by calculating time remaining based upon two values for the amount of gas remaining that differ by at least a predetermined minimum.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of, and computer program and apparatus for, identifying reflected signals, subsequent to their reflection within a medium. The method comprises obtaining return signals (100), resulting from measurements being performed over a measurement period. The measurement period comprises sub-periods, the return signals comprising reflected signals and noise. The plurality of return signals are partitioned into plural sets (220) of equal cardinality or as equal as possible such that their cardinality differs by no more than one. A stacked correlation value is determined (130) for the return signals by determining the mean of the return signals across the plural sets (230) and determining a correlation value of the plural sets over each of the time sub-periods (240). Peaks in the variation of the stacked correlation value over time can then be identified and each of the peaks in the variation of the stacked correlation value over time can be attributed to a reflected signal.
